32、 of a standard forthe professional qualifications of emergency vehicle technician, approved the establishmentofatechnicalcommitteeonEmergencyVehicleTechnicianProfessionalQualificationsunderthe Professional Qualifications project.

35、 EmergencyVehicle Technician (EVT). The Committee updated the EVT requirements to address tech-nological enhancements regarding new apparatus. The Technical Committee defined thedelineation between the three levels of EVT. Generally speaking, the EVT I is responsible foroperational checks, the EVT I

36、I is responsible for performance checks, and the EVT III isresponsible for supervision and managerial skills. The skills and knowledge requirements foreach level of EVT were updated and brought in line with NFPA 1901, Standard for AutomotiveFire Apparatus.The Technical Committee has revised several
